Narrabri · Indigenous Location
How much of daily life sits within a walk of home — a transparent 0–10 walkability score and the everyday destinations you can reach on foot: shops, public transport, schools, parks and health services, plus the streets and terrain in between.
Far fewer homes are within a short stroll of a park in Narrabri compared to the state average. This gap helps pull down the town's overall walkability score to 5.6, which is considered somewhat walkable. While most residents can easily reach transport, a smaller share have the same access to schools and shops.

5.6
Somewhat walkable of indigenous location areas.
A 0–10 score for how much of daily life sits within an easy walk of the average home — weighing how close groceries, public transport, cafés, parks, health services, schools, culture and everyday services are, and how many of each. Walking times are measured on an elevation-aware pedestrian network, so hills count against reach. The methodology page describes how the score is put together.
